2013 MLB Draft Preview

Once again Perfect Game plans extensive coverage of Major League Baseball’s 2013 first-year player draft, complete with player rankings, comprehensive scouting reports and profiles, and regular updates and features on the elite prospects.
We’ll also provide daily blogs of draft comings and goings, and enhance our coverage with mock drafts, draft chats and videos of top prospects.
Our preview coverage kicked off last week with our update of the top 100 draft-eligible prospects, a collaborative staffmock draft and a draft-related chat. This coverage will continue through the draft itself, which is scheduled from June 6-8, taking a page from the NFL by following the Thursday through Saturday format.
In addition to the updated top 100 prospect lists, of which we will continue to expand as we get closer to the draft, we went 500 prospects deep in January and 300 last September. Preliminary top prospect lists are also available for the 2014 and 2015 draft classes as well as breaking down the top 100 prospects from the college senior, junior, sophomore and freshmen classes, as well as the top 200 prospects from the junior college ranks prior to the season.
Also in January we started to provide detailed scouting reports on some of the top prospects, showcasing one player per day, Monday through Friday as part of our Draft Focus series. When draft day arrives, more than 100 prospects will be broken down extensively as part of this series, and a full list of these players can be seen in the box found to the right.
In addition, Allan Simpson's unrivaled state-by-state lists for the 2013 draft class will be updated as the individual state preview features are released over the next several weeks (links to both the state previews and state lists will be added below when added to the site). You can also find signing bonus information on hundreds of the top picks in the last several drafts off of Perfect Game's main Draft page.
Long-time PG draft experts Allan Simpson and David Rawnsley will be joined by Frankie Piliere, Todd Gold and Patrick Ebert in providing this unrivaled draft content.
All of these features will be available at varying levels of our subscription service, PG Crosschecker. To subscribe to PG Crosschecker’s more exclusive draft content, please click here.
On draft day itself Perfect Game will be providing it's PG Draft LIVE! draft pick feature in which users can view picks by round and by team while also giving users the opportunity to search by a player's name. Perfect Game will continue its coverage through the draft itself while profiling the players as they sign leading up to the July 12 signing deadline.
